Fans hang signs supporting individual players in the CEC, like in the Mellon, right? I still haven't had to chance to see a game there : ( , and I don't know the rules; perhaps some publicity for the PDAS is in order (not with the intention of slighting other players, of course). : )

I'd be fine if he got a "thank you" contract. Something like 2 years, $2.5 million per or $2.75 million per to be honest. I, and this organization, am a big believer in treating your players right when they treat you right. Dupuis has played a big part of this team for peanuts in recent years, I wouldn't mind if we heaped on a few extra bucks as a thank you and then took it year by year thereafter.

What do you think is the bigger thank you from Shero, slightly higher $ or a longer term? Guess it depends on Dupuis' wishes... I'd be happy if Shero offered 4 years at the lower end, he'd still make a great 3/4th liner in a few years. Duper embodies blue collar work ethic and team first attitude - I'd certainly be happy if he retired a Pen!

Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, I think Dupuis was a better aquisition than Marian Hossa...in hindsight, of course.Great human bieng. Pay this guy what he deserves and for at lease 4 years. Oh and Happy Birthday #9.
